Economic Stimulus Website

The Recovery.gov website lets citizens track most of the $787 billion in economic stimulus spending authorized in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

This website was created to increase transparency and accountability by featuring “information on how the Act is working, tools to help you hold the government accountable, and up-to-date data on the expenditure of funds.”

There are going to be a few different ways to search for information. The money is being distributed by Federal agencies, and soon you'll be able to see where it's going -- to which states, to which congressional districts, even to which Federal contractors."

The website links to a video from President Obama as well as announcements, contact information, and answers to frequently asked questions concerning economic recovery plans and activities.
